Are you passionate about delivering the highest standards of small animal care and looking for an exciting and flexible new opportunity?

Rosevean are looking to welcome an enthusiastic, motivated and dedicated Small Animal Veterinary Surgeon to be part of our Night Team.

We are a dynamic, supportive and progressive practice based in stunning Cornwall. The role offers the opportunity to work within a vibrant, enthusiastic, and sociable team that shares your commitment to delivering high-quality primary care. The added bonus being it offers a great work life balance too!

 

About you:

Are you the kind of Vet that is a real team player and loves being part of a supportive and close-knit team? Do you have a passion for emergency care, with the ability to work up medical and surgical cases independently, as well as provide support and empathy to our clients? Then this could be the role for you.

You will be part of a positive team with a can-do attitude, working closely with the on-site nurse to manage an OOH caseload. You will have the ability to work autonomously when required and a desire to collaborate with the wider team to maintain our high standards of care and excel in the services we provide.

 

About us:

But don’t just take our word about how amazing we are – arrange to drop in and see for yourself!  Come and have a cuppa and a chat and get to know us a little.

 

The Role:

  • Salary £55,000-£70,000 depending on experience
  • Rota – 3 week rolling pattern, allowing you to plan in advance and you’ll have plenty of downtime to focus on the priorities that matter to you
